Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Judkins: D-.

The war room fell hard for Deone Walker, and it showed at Round 1, Pick 25: 96 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 13 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 25th pick they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at slot 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in Round 2, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the 77th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, DJ Campbell in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 113, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick 142 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 180th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 6, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at slot 209 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
